Yep.

I remember about 12 or so years ago, the main guy selling them (I bought a Fullmer) got caught and called out with a video of someone showing how he was doing it. It circulated around the forums back then and for the next couple of years threads exactly like this one would pop up every few weeks asking about them.

Thanks guys. Not sure this is what this card is but is a plausible explanation.

Leximo on eBay as vague memory serves (don’t sue me, lol), Think they still sell under Leximo2.

I think UV would still show adhesive as remembered, the hat area seems to possibly show a paper remnant
